More quotes by Henry Fielding
There is not in the universe a more ridiculous, nor a more contemptible animal, than a proud clergyman.
Henry Fielding
Riches without charity are nothing worth. They are a blessing only to him who makes them a blessing to others.
Henry Fielding
Men who pay for what they eat will insist on gratifying their palates
Henry Fielding
Fashion is the science of appearance, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.
Henry Fielding

Henry Fielding
As a great part of the uneasiness of matrimony arises from mere trifles,, it would be wise in every young married man to enter into an agreement with his wife, that in all disputes of this kind the party who was most convinced they were right should always surrender the victory. By which means both would be more forward to give up the cause.
Henry Fielding
For I hope my Friends will pardon me, when I declare, I know none of them without a Fault and I should be sorry if I could imagine, I had any Friend who could not see mine. Forgiveness, of this Kind, we give and demand in Turn.
Henry Fielding
There is no zeal blinder than that which is inspired with a love of justice against offenders.
Henry Fielding
Perhaps the summary of good-breeding may be reduced to this rule. Behave unto all men as you would they should behave unto you. This will most certainly oblige us to treat all mankind with the utmost civility and respect, there being nothing that we desire more than to be treated so by them.
Henry Fielding
There is nothing so useful to man in general, nor so beneficial to particular societies and individuals, as trade. This is that alma mater, at whose plentiful breast all mankind are nourished.
Henry Fielding
There are two considerations which always imbitter the heart of an avaricious man--the one is a perpetual thirst after more riches, the other the prospect of leaving what he has already acquired.
Henry Fielding
Adversity is the trial of principle. Without it, a man hardly knows whether he is honest or not.
Henry Fielding
O vanity, how little is thy force acknowledged or thy operations discerned! How wantonly dost thou deceive mankind under different disguises! Sometimes thou dost wear the face of pity sometimes of generosity nay, thou hast the assurance to put on those glorious ornaments which belong only to heroic virtue.
Henry Fielding
It is a trite but true Observation, that Examples work more forcibly on the Mind than Precepts: and if this be just in what is odious and blameable, it is more strongly so in what is amiable and praiseworthy.
Henry Fielding
Gravity is the best cloak for sin in all countries.
Henry Fielding
To the generality of men you cannot give a stronger hint for them to impose upon you than by imposing upon yourself.
Henry Fielding
